The Journalism Staff posts weekly announcements to keep our students up to date with what's going on in the department, updated internship opportunities and job opportunities to give our students a gateway to potential jobs/careers.

UDWE - Undergraduate students must take the Upper Division Writing Test this semester if they will complete 75 units or more by the end of spring 2011. Students can take the exam after completing 56 units and meeting the Lower Division writing requirement. Students who have not taken the UDWPE by the completion of 75 units will have a registration hold placed on their subsequent registration.

Mandatory Advisement Week Two - There's only five weeks left to get your Fall 2011 advisement done! All Journalism students who plan to attend CSUN during Fall 2011 must see their advisers for academic counseling during the advisement period.
